End of Summer Psychedelic Reading - Red Things on Tuesday
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. End of Summer Psychedelic ReadingAs the seasons change, and the kids get ready to go back to school, it's getting to be time to start cozying up with books. I don't want to brag (I want to brag), but I've got some pretty brilliant friends who have written some pretty great-looking books that have just come out. I'm looking forward to digging into their books, and it's also my pleasure to share them with you as well. In all transparency, most of these are affiliate links, so if you purchase one, we'll get about 25 cents, which will go into paying for our email software. First, I'm thrilled to be able to share a book written by one of our own, Alisa Stone. Alisa leads our weekly women's circle with Robin. Alisa has written "Turn On, Tune In, and Heal," and it features some of her work with Tam. This book is here to help. It’s written for those who don’t yet understand—your parents, friends, or partner—and aims to break down the fear, stigma, and misconceptions surrounding psychedelic therapy. If you want your loved ones to support you, start by giving them this. Check it out here. Next, I'm honored to be featured in Julian Vayne's new book, "Trip Sitting." Julian and I talk a lot, and he teaches in the Tam Coaching Training Program. He's really had a profound impact on me, and what we offer here at Tam. So, I'm humbled because he let me know that one of my practices was included in his new book. Which one? You'll have to order it here to find out! How about a few books on psychedelic music? Steven Gelberg has been collecting and collating psychedelic music for playlists as long as anyone. His Spotify account has everything you need to craft a nice, long playlist. His new book is titled "Tuning In: Experiencing Music in Psychedelic States" My pal Matt Xavier takes recorded music curation one step further and offers a unique, high-touch experience. He is known to set up his DJ equipment for his folks and mixes music in real time. His book is called "The Psychedelic DJ: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy." My pal Amanita Dreamer just released a book of short contemplations, "Daily Readings for Integration: For Your Psychedelic Journey." It's a wonderful collection of high-minded thoughts, and perfect for those of us who do well with poetic snippets of condensed goodness. Finally, there is a very weighty tome written by Dave Hodges of the Church of Ambrosia. It's called "The Book of Ambrosia." It's not released yet, but Dave was kind enough to give me a copy at the conference and asked me to give him some notes. (Note to self, give Dave some notes!) So far, I can tell you that it's really comprehensive and covers preparation, integration, and the values and tenets of his psychedelic church. So there's your reading list. Maybe we'll start to discuss some of these in our membership group, and I'll try to get each of these people to come and share with you all on a zoom at some point. Happy reading! Conscious PartyThis is the term I use when I try to explain to people that healing and growth can happen at a festival or a dance party. Bright Eyes - FirewallThis is weird as hell.

What’s included:
This intensive is designed to create a powerful container for people with emerging spiritual visions. The sessions will offer group members an opportunity to deepen their practice and care for themselves, knowing that they will take what they learn and experience back to their clients and communities. You will be offered a weekend designed to explore the depths of your body, mind, and consciousness with simple clarity. The curriculum is designed to make you a more centered being as well as a better guide. We’ll open Friday with some sound healing, exploring how our voice can be used to express and release in ways that support catharsis while maintaining a regulated nervous system. This will lead into our drum led ceremony. On Saturday, we’ll explore the intersection of visualization and somatics as a wonderful adjunct to a journey. Continuing the theme from Friday, we’ll look at how we support a calm inner environment in through our presence and guidance. This will culminate in our Saturday evening ceremony. Sunday, as we integrate our experience, we’ll explore how our stories can convey deep universal truths, and how taking our seat as a teacher can provide deep value to our students. Group Coaching and Mentorship- The Golden Road CollectiveI have a group offering called The Golden Road Collective. The Golden Road is a collective of psychonauts, healers, guides, and transformational change agents. We work together to create and embody the visions that have been gifted us in our ceremonies. We’re stepping into a shared future that is mindful, resilient, and committed to the versions of ourselves that we know we can be.

Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Your Inner Child Loves The Hobbit. The 5-year-old and I read The Hobbit over the summer, and it has given us lots to think about. It's also led to one of my proudest parenting moments. We were making sandwiches for a hike, and he was spreading peanut butter onto some bread. It was a bit lumpy and patchy, and he pointed it out, saying, "It's fine." I countered, "No, dude, spread it all the way to the edges. You got this." He questioned,...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Have you met time travellers? "If time travel is a real thing, where are all the time travellers?" I've met time travelers. They're at Grateful Dead shows. (present tense!) Grateful Dead shows are timeless. Time travellers gravitate towards timeless places, I believe. Television and movies would have you believe that they flock to singular historical events, but that's only part of it. It certainly makes for better TV to have a bunch of...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. The hero in our bodies I need to remind myself to be the hero of my yoga practice sometimes. I need to remind myself not to let myself off the hook and play the victim. I had Achilles tendon surgery a few years back. It affects my balance poses. The pose on one foot is very different from that on the other. It would be really easy for me to write it off. I catch myself making excuses, telling myself it's ok to give up. It's never going...
